Putrajaya, Wilayah Persekutuan (August 5, 2008) – PARAGON PUBLISHING SDN BHD, the publisher of GET@CAR magazine, today announced the CIMB Club Performance Car Of The Year Award 2008, a confirmed three day affair from the 8th of August 2008 to 10th August 2008 at a 1759m closed road in Dataran Gemilang, Putrajaya for a street course –the only Malaysian event involving performance cars being driven to the limit on the track that is also opened to  a selected (and highly discerning) audience.

That’s a really, really, green car.

It definitely is. Aside from the paint job (finished in a special bright green paint with inlaid metallic flake which is an interpretation of the 1970s Le Mans Green of the Escort RS1600) the Focus RS isn’t a tree-hugger’s dream mobile. Expected to go on sale in early 2009, the Focus RS is a serious high performance car for driving enthusiasts. Seeing as this is the second Focus model to carry the RS mantle since the 1970 Escort RS1600, the hot for teacher Focus should be suitably awesome to drive.

You’d need to be an anorak to see the changes.

It doesn’t look any different…

You got that right. The ‘new’ 3-series has just been unveiled thanks to an American website that had published the photos ahead of schedule. From the photos, the new 3 looks very, very lightly revised. Aside from the amazing ability to traverse 100km on a single gallon of fuel, the new 3-series isn’t really all that new. Oh and the bonnet and rear LED light assembly are new too.

This car does nought to a hundred faster than you can say, A,M and G.

What? Another super powered AMG?

Yup. The SL65 AMG Black Series uses the bi-turbo V12 engine, same as the SL65, albeit with a raft of modifications. All this fettling has garnered the Black with a mind-boggling 661bhp and 1000Nm of torque. All this power comes at a price though; a cool ₤250,000.

So this is the new BMW 7-Series then.

Yup. Thanks to a bunch of webmasters, the 7-series is being ‘unveiled’ a few months ahead of its Paris motorshow debut. The new 7-series is BMW’s fifth iteration of their flagship car. Despite sharing some cues with the Concept CS (the imposing front snout being the most obvious) the car looks a lot like an extended version of the outgoing model. Thankfully, the technical highlights of the car is beyond that of the already amazing Mercedes-Benz S-Class, propelling the 7-series up front once again.
